2012 NFL Free Agency: Is Mario Williams in Teal a Possibility?

Mario and minced would be awesome! He’s been on my list of guys I want. Nicks,Bowe and super Mario come to jax!

I feel like he thinks he’s worth more than he really is. He wants a big payday and I don’t see it happening. I see us going after Mario Williams or Cliff Avril.

FA: DE Mathis, WR Jackson, WR Douglas

Draft: 1st: DE Quinton Colpes
2nd: TE Allen

That whole “hometown discount” thing rubbed me the wrong way with Mincey. He isn’t going to be making a huge amount of money anywhere so why does he think they would need a discount.. kinda makes me wonder if he thinks he is worth more than he is.

But anyway, I’d want them to go after Williams, I think that Knighton and Alualu will come back strong next year and having Williams would make a D-line a strength, regardless of who ever ends up starting on the other side.

He will find that even though the stats he put up was tops for a mediocre Jags team. Even though he’s steadly gotten better over the past few years, he’s just a journeyman and will be humbled very quickly.

My guess is he will be begging for a contract by the beginning of Training Camp. I hope the team signs a top FA at DE but, I would like to see Mincey back with the Jags and continuing to improve.

He’ll never make it to free agency. If he does then there is a reason the Texans stink every year.

If we sign roth and mincey that would be around 10 million so we should go ahead and spend that money on a stud. draft couples and even if he bust we still have a great de and if he is good then our DL will be nasty

kampman is done, then Mathis might be willing to take a home town discount saying he wants to finish his career, which may only be for a little longer, in Jacksonville. Plus, every receiver, with the exception of Thomas and Shorts, will probably be gone. SO all those going with being on of the few teams thats got a lot to get to to reach minimum cap i think we could afford him and Mincey. Here is the bigger question, and i know I’m going to be criticized for even thinking of this pipe dream but i don’t care. What about Payton. Yes Payton, if the colts let him go he will want to go somewhere he can win his 2nd ring and with the risk of being hurt again he might be willing to lower that big old contract of his. Then you have a top 10 defense that can help get him the ball and you’ve got plenty of receivers that would be willing to come and play with him, and who else better for Gabbert to learn from than the best, he isn’t Andrew Luck and won’t threaten Payton’s playing. And as a bonus he gets to make Indy regret letting him go, assuming he is let go. As much of a Fantasy as that is with Payton at the helm and some new Receivers our offense is balanced, either you make Manning beat you by stacking the box to stop MJD, or you let MJD clobber you by going into nickel and dime packages to try and stop Payton, and thats the other thing, in Jacksonville he would have a running game with MJD, something he didn’t have in Indy for the most part since Faulk left. Now besides the question of who is the face of the franchise and who’s team it is, MJD’s or Mannning’s thats going to have to be figured out. Yes i already know its a pipe dream and a highly improbable, the only thing with that is that bringing in Payton you would have just enough for an Elite recover and a good #2 possibly pending on how Payton sees the possibly of one more injury and he is done. Sometimes you have to think outside the box though so ideas as outrageous as this might be you never know what will happen.

Wouldn’t be the end of the world if we didn’t get Mario Williams. I think the Jags could spend less on a guy like Avril or Robert Mathis, & draft Coples 7th overall.

Although id love Williams in teal, there are plenty of options the Jags could go if he signs somewhere else.

I can see Gene going after Cliff Avril over Mario. Cliff Avril isn’t going to come cheap, but I’m expecting Mario Williams, given the demand for quality pass rushers, to garner blockbuster-type contract offers. Offers that Gene Smith will deem are beyond his calculated value (like Nnamdi from last year). I don’t see Gene Smith getting into any high-profile bidding wars.

Realistically I think they’ll make strong plays for Cliff Avril, Marques Colston (or Dwayne Bowe), and probably Harry Douglas. Probably some less-sexy OL/DL and secondary signings. And they’ll probably retain either Mincey or Roth, but probably not both. (Or maybe we’ll stockpile and rotate quality DE’s like the Giants do?)

I think it could influence other free agents to consider the Jags. Off the subject, just curious, of the recently hired NFL coaches, who would you take for sure above Mularkey?

OK so why can’t we do either one say we get two top Defensive free agents and either draft the best wide receiver in the draft at number 7 or we could go D-linemen and then just load up with wide outs in free agency! So say we get Dwayne Bowe, Harry douglas and either draft Alshon Jeffery why not go after Mario williams and Avril both? if not get at least one of those guys and Draft a few wideouts! Mr KHAN has made it perfectly clear that our team needs wideouts!

for an arrogant SOB to be getting 15 sacks a year for the Jags!

Lol he can be arrogant all he wants if he helps our Jags get 10 plus sacks a year and Mincey gets like 10 dude we be kicking major ass!
